Larry Sanders reportedly struggled with off-court responsibilities, which was one of the reasons why the Cavs decided to release him.

According to The Atlantic, Sanders missed the team bus from the hotel to the airport Tuesday in Miami. It was at that point the Cavs decided to cut ties and bring in Walter Tavares. "He didn’t have any kind of a setback relative to any of the demons he had or any of those things," Cavs general manager David Griffin said. "He’s an NBA player. He’s kind of flaky. So sometimes you’re late." Sanders may have a tough time finding a team to take a chance on him next season. Sat, Apr 15, 2017 09:44:00 AM

This explains why the Cavs will sign Walter Tavares on Wednesday. Sanders averaged just 2.6 minutes per game in five appearances, and he couldn't even crack the rotation with Tristan Thompson (thumb) on the shelf. If Sanders wants another job in the NBA, he will likely have to accept a minimum deal this summer. Tue, Apr 11, 2017 10:24:00 PM

He hasn't managed to contribute a single statistic to the box score through his four minutes of total playing time, so he'll get some reps with Cleveland's D-League squad. Unless something catastrophic happens to Cleveland's frontcourt, Sanders won't have any fantasy value this year. Sun, Mar 26, 2017 02:21:00 PM
